I am so back in the Philippines,still jetlagged though. Okay... for those who are confused.... starting from chapter 38 is the 'real' story of Eleanor while chapters 1-37 is the 'book' that Eleanor Calder wrote. If you're still confused. you can message me. :)

Bradford, West Yorkshire, England

        -ZAYN-

        A thick duvet still wrapped around me,my eyes were still closed even though I'm awake, but still, I'm deciding on waking up or not. I hear my sisters chattering from downstairs, hearing my cousin's banter... This is what I always hear every morning.

        I'm Zayn Javadd Malik and I live in Bradford, it's known because this is where the Bronte sisters live, Emily and Charlotte Bronte, they wrote Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre... It doesn't matter, does it? Yes, I'm Zayn and  I still live with the whole family, even with my cousins. It's been a tradition, I guess. I don't have a work, because I didn't even finished highschool, we're not rich... I always audition on a singing contest or something like that. But I never had a chance to show off myy talent. But sometimes I do extras on shows because the casting directors says that I have a face but can't really 'act' well.

        "Honey, it's breakfast time" my mum cooed as she knocks obnoxiously on my door. By the way, my eyes are still closed, I know for sure that the sunlight will directly hit my precious eyes. All the time.

        "Yeah mum, coming" I answered back lazily. I removed the duvet and I wore a thick robe because fuck boners every morning.  It's a bright day today and it's a surprise... As I walk down on our narrow staircase, my little cousins were chasing each other, causing me to almost fall on the stairs. "Watch where you're going!" I hissed.

        "Ay, Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" Doniya chirped while eating a biryani. "Shut up" I told her and it caused my mum to glare at me.

        "Zedd, Amar Khan called and he said something about an audition that you'll go to later. I hope you'll consider this one. This might be your big break you know?" Mum encourages me. I'm almost done with this. But hey, might as well give this audition a try.

        "I will, just let me have some breakfast and mum please tell dad that I can't help him later." I reminded her and she just nodded. 

        Just in time after styling my quiffy hair, I was called downstairs because we're about to go to the Mosque, and after that aunt Zilleh will drop me off to the city of London.

        --

        I was standing on queue, nervous and excited at the same time. A guy maybe the same age as I am approached me. "What's your name?" he asked. His smile was still there and it started creeping me up. "My name's Zayn, what about you?" I asked back. His smile was still there! What's his problem?

        "I'm Bonnie Smith, and I can sing!" he answers enthusiastically, I''m not really this type of guy who will entertain some stranger. "Can you sing? Do you sing good? I heard that they need a good singer on this movie." he blabs. Ugh, can he be more annoying?

        "Hey mate, why don't we go over there? I've been looking everywhere for you!" this Justin Timberlake looking guy approached me and signalling me to come with him, maybe he's taking me away from this annoying Bonnie Smith.

                When we're far away from the dork, I sighed heavily. "Thanks man, you're a life saver" I said to him and he just smiled in return. "He's been pissing me off too, earlier before I went away. Glad I got you before he can even brag about his musical background. I'm Liam by the way" he introduced himself, he kinda looked like a douche, my kind of friend.
